Perfect Villain Life: Universal Job Change-Chapter 128
Chapter 128: The Client
Xu Cheng’s expression immediately darkened.
He spoke coldly, “As far as I know, the Divine Revelation Auction doesn’t have a rule like this. Every guest here is treated as a VIP. The auction guarantees its guests’ privacy and freedom!”
“You are absolutely correct,” one of the powerful figures replied with a cheerful smile. “However, we are only following orders. Please don’t make things difficult for us, Mr. Xu.”
Xu Cheng’s heart sank. These were powerful individuals, all above level 45—definitely high-ranking members of the Divine Revelation Monolith.
As an S-rank Shadow Assassin, Xu Cheng was skilled, but escaping under the watchful eyes of several level 45 powerhouses was an impossible feat.
Still, he gritted his teeth and said, “Aren’t you afraid that if this gets exposed, it will ruin the reputation of the Divine Revelation Auction?”
Xu Cheng had come to the auction precisely because of its reputation for safety. Anyone who attended the Divine Revelation Auction could conceal their identity, ensuring that no one could uncover their personal information.
He had thought that even if he offended someone powerful, his anonymity would protect him. Yet here he was, being forcibly detained.
The strongmen of the Divine Revelation Monolith simply smiled in silence, their gazes upon Xu Cheng as cold and indifferent as if they were staring at a dead man.

If the incident were exposed, it would indeed damage the auction’s reputation and, more specifically, Yuan Quan’s standing. But the likelihood of exposure? That seemed almost non-existent.
Faced with their mocking expressions, Xu Cheng realized he had no way out. With no other choice, he turned and returned to his private booth.
Despite being an ordinary room, the booth was luxuriously furnished with fine dining and wine. However, Xu Cheng had no appetite.
He sat there, wracking his brain, wondering who was behind this. Why would someone target him?
He had been extraordinarily low-key during the auction and had offended no one. Could it be… Qin Xian?
Xu Cheng couldn’t comprehend why Qin Xian would target him. He hadn’t crossed paths with Qin Xian, and during earlier bidding, all the unidentified items Xu Cheng had tried for had been bought by Qin Xian.
Could Qin Xian truly be so petty as to hold a grudge over that? If he were so small-minded, he wouldn’t have achieved his current success.
Unable to find a logical answer, Xu Cheng replayed every detail of his time at the auction in his mind.
Who could he possibly have offended?
Qin Xian, meanwhile, was unaware of Xu Cheng’s dilemma. Even if he knew, he likely wouldn’t care.
His entire focus was on the Final Revelation of Divine Revelation.
The significance of the Final Revelation for him and the Qin family was self-evident.
It would allow him to ascend beyond the rank of Void Overlord and grant the Qin family absolute dominance over the Divine Revelation System.
The Qin family already possessed six Final Revelations, and with one more, they would control more than half of the twelve.
Although the Virgo Final Revelation ranked lower among the twelve, it was still a Final Revelation, an artifact of immeasurable value.
“Virgo…” Qin Xian muttered, narrowing his eyes. The Virgo Final Revelation did not originate from the empire but from the Wuyue Kingdom.
When the Divine Revelation descended upon the world, the Virgo Final Revelation was granted to the Wuyue Saintess, one of the Twelve Primordials.
The Wuyue Saintess founded the Wuyue Clan and established the Wuyue Kingdom, once one of the strongest human nations, rivaling the Dragon Empire.
However, 700 years ago, the Wuyue Saintess mysteriously vanished, failing to ascend to the Divine Revelation Sanctuary like the other Primordials.
Afterward, the Wuyue Clan seemed cursed. For generations, none of its members could awaken professions above S-rank.
The Wuyue Kingdom fell into decline, barely surviving for a century before being conquered.
After its fall, the remnants of the Wuyue Clan became exiles, and the Virgo Final Revelation vanished along with them.
For nearly 600 years, factions like the Qin family had searched tirelessly for the Wuyue Clan’s descendants and the Virgo Final Revelation, but to no avail.
It was as though they had vanished from Blue Star altogether.
Yet now, against all odds, the Virgo Final Revelation had reappeared at the Divine Revelation Auction.
“100 billion!”
Before the auctioneer could even open the bidding, someone immediately placed a bid of 100 billion.
And that was just the beginning.
“200 billion!”
“500 billion!”
“600 billion!”
“800 billion, plus control of two level-8 guilds!”
“1.2 trillion, control of four level-8 guilds, and five crystal core mines!”
“3.3 trillion, control of ten level-8 guilds, 22 crystal core mines, and…”
The frenzy escalated further. Everyone knew that the Final Revelation couldn’t be measured by monetary value alone.
The entire auction hall was consumed by madness. Even the auctioneer’s face twitched; the current bids alone had already surpassed the total revenue of the past two auctions combined.
This was the Divine Revelation Auction, and even the auctioneer had only just learned the nature of this final item.
After all, these items were controlled by the Divine Revelation System, with the auction staff merely facilitating the process.
Frantic calls were being made across the hall as attendees reported the news back to their factions.
At this moment, the entire world was descending into chaos.
Finally, the auctioneer gave a strained smile and shook his head.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please calm down. The client is not interested in money. She has other requirements. Furthermore, she is present here tonight…”
